1 Introduction In order to reuse a channel model, it is requisite to separate the channel model from its measurement system and estimation procedures. For this purpose, the concept of a parametric channel model is introduced. Considering direction of arrival (DOA) estimation, a traditionally used signal model in a parametric channel model, which is a plane wave model, can be reasonable if and o...

This paper presents a comprehensive overview of Ultra-Wideband (UWB) measurements of all the empirical data available on various fading properties of the indoor radiowave communication channel. Our focus is on the essential propagation channel parameters which is used in the physics-based models. This overview is based on more than 50 measurement campaigns from 24 working groups in different co...

One of the orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) system disadvantages is its sensitivity to frequency offset and phase noise, which lead to losing the orthogonality between the subcarriers and thereby degrade the system performance. In this paper a joint scheme for frequency offset and pilot-based channel estimation is introduced in which the frequency offset is first estimated usin...

We present numerical evidence showing that any three-dimensional subspace of C ⊗ Cn has an orthonormal basis which can be reliably distinguished using one-way LOCC, where a measurement is made first on the 3-dimensional part and the result used to select an optimal measurement on the n-dimensional part. This conjecture has implications for the LOCC-assisted capacity of certain quantum channels,...

In this paper, we present propagation characteristics of the wideband MIMO channel based on indoor measurement. Statistical characterization of the wideband MIMO channel is crucial for the design of wireless mobile broadband communication systems, especially upcoming IMT-Advanced systems. We performed measurement campaign for the indoor office scenario using the Band Exploration and Channel Sou...

Pulse wave velocity (PWV) is the most popular index to assessment the arterial stiffness. Currently, several non-invasive examination methods with single channel for PWV are announced. This paper proposes a non-invasive digital volume pulse (DVP) measuring system using a dual channel simultaneous measurement method try to meet the demands for home healthcare equipment which is easy to operate. ...

A novel radio channel compensation method aiming to give optimal calibration for microstrip antenna array systems is presented in this paper, realized for an actual DOA measurement antenna system using microstrip antennas to sample the electromagnetic field, operating at 4.5GHz. This new approach considers mismatch between antennas and channel RF ports, channel transmission inequalities, and al...

This paper proposes a compressive sensing (CS) method for multi-channel electroencephalogram (EEG) signals in Wireless Body Area Network (WBAN) applications, where the battery life of sensors is limited. For the single EEG channel case, known as the single measurement vector (SMV) problem, the Block Sparse Bayesian Learning-BO (BSBL-BO) method has been shown to yield good results. This method e...
